Hojii 21
1 Erga isaaniin gargar baanee booddees dooniidhaan kaanee utuu mirgaa bitaatti hin gorin Qoositti qajeelle. Guyyaa itti aanutti Roodees dhaqnee achii immoo Phaaxaraatti dabarre.
And when it came to pass that we were parted from them, and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 Doonii Finiiqeetti ceʼu tokkos argannee isa yaabbannee adeemsa itti fufne.
and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
3 Yommuu Qophiroosin arguu dandeenyetti, harka bitaatti ishee dhiifnee Sooriyaatti qajeelle; nus iddoo dooniin keenya feʼiisa isaa itti buufachuuf ture Xiiroositti irraa buune.
And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 Achitti barattoota argannee guyyaa torba isaan bira turre. Isaanis akka Phaawulos Yerusaalem hin dhaqneef Hafuura Qulqulluun isa akeekkachiisan.
And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.
5 Garuu yeroon keenya dhumnaan achii kaanee deemsa keenya itti fufne; barattoonni hundinuu niitota isaaniitii fi ijoollee isaanii wajjin magaalattii keessaa nu baasanii nu geggeessan; nus qarqara galaanaatti jilbeenfannee kadhanne.
And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way, till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed,
6 Erga nagaatti waliin jennee booddees doonii yaabbanne; isaan immoo mana isaaniitti deebiʼan.
and bade each other farewell; and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.
7 Xiiroosii kaanee adeemsa keenya itti fufuudhaan Phitolemaayisitti galle; achittis obboloota dubbifnee guyyaa tokko isaan bira oolle.
And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 Guyyaa itti aanutti achii kaanee Qiisaariyaa geenye; achittis mana lallabaa wangeelaa tokkoo mana Fiiliphoos isa warra torbaan keessaa tokko ture sanaa dhaqnee isa bira turre.
And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Caesarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
9 Innis ijoollee durbaa kanneen hin heerumin afur qaba ture; isaanis raajii dubbatu turan.
Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 Erga nu guyyaa hedduu achi turree booddee raajiin Agaaboos jedhamu tokko Yihuudaadhaa gad buʼe.
And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 Innis gara keenya dhufee sabbata Phaawulos fuudhee harkaa fi miilla ofii isaa hidhee, “Hafuurri Qulqulluun, ‘Yihuudoonni Yerusaalem jiraatan abbaa sabbata kanaa akkanatti hidhanii dabarsanii Namoota Ormaatti isa kennu’ jedha” jedhe.
And coming to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Nus yommuu waan kana dhageenyetti akka Phaawulos Yerusaalemitti ol hin baaneef namoota achi jiran wajjin isa kadhanne.
And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Phaawulos immoo deebisee, “Isin maaliif boossanii garaa na raaftu? Ani maqaa Gooftaa Yesuusiitiif jedhee Yerusaalemitti hidhamuu qofa utuu hin taʼin duʼuuf illee qophaaʼeeraatii” jedhe.
Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Yommuu inni nuu sarmuu didettis, “Fedhiin Gooftaa haa taʼu” jennee dhiifne.
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Guyyoota kanneen booddees qophoofnee Yerusaalemitti ol baane.
And after these days we took up our baggage, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Barattoonni Qiisaariyaa keessaa tokko tokko nu miiltessanii gara mana Minaason nu geessan; innis nama Qophiroos kan barattoota durii keessaa tokko turee dha.
And there went with us also [certain] of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing [with them] one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Yommuu nu Yerusaalem geenyetti obboloonni gammachuudhaan nu simatan.
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 Guyyaa itti aanuttis Phaawulos nu wajjin Yaaqoob bira dhaqe; jaarsoliin hundinuus achi turan.
And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19 Phaawulosis nagaa isaan gaafatee waan Waaqni tajaajila inni kenneen Namoota Ormaa keessatti hojjete hunda tokko tokkoon isaanii ibse.
And when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Isaan yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti Waaqa galateeffatan. Phaawulosiinis akkana jedhan; “Yaa obboleessa, ati akka Yihuudoonni kuma hedduun amanan ni argita; hundi isaaniis hinaaffaa seeraaf qabu.
And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them which have believed; and they are all zealous for the law:
21 Ati akka Yihuudoonni Namoota Ormaa keessa jiraatan hundinuu ilmaan isaanii dhagna hin qabnee fi akka isaan akka duudhaa keenyaatti hin jiraanne itti himtee akka isaan seera Musee irraa gara galan barsiisuun kee isaanitti himameera.
and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 Isaan akka ati dhufte dhugumaan ni dhagaʼu; egaa maal gochuu wayya?
What is it therefore? they will certainly hear that thou art come.
23 Kanaaf ati waan nu sitti himnu godhi; namoonni wareega of irraa qaban afur nu bira jiru.
Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 Akka isaan mataa isaanii haaddataniif namoota kanneen ofitti fuudhiitii isaan wajjin of qulqulleessiitii baasii isaanii ati baasi. Kanaanis namoonni hundinuu akka oduun waaʼee kee odeeffame sun dhugaa hin taʼin, akka ati mataan kee iyyuu seeraaf ajajamtee jiraattu ni beeku.
these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.
25 Waaʼee Namoota Ormaa kanneen amananii immoo akka isaan nyaata waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa dhiʼeeffame, dhiiga, foon horii hudhamee duʼeetii fi sagaagalummaa lagataniif nu murtii keenya isaaniif barreessineerra.”
But as touching the Gentiles which have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.
26 Phaawulosis guyyaa itti aanutti namoota sana ofitti fuudhee isaan wajjin of qulqulleesse; ergasii immoo gaafa guyyoonni qulqullaaʼummaa sun itti xumuramanii fi yeroo itti aarsaan maqaa tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiin dhiʼeeffamuu malu beeksisuuf mana qulqullummaa seene.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 Yommuu guyyoonni torban sun xumuramuu gaʼanitti Yihuudoonni biyya Asiyaatii dhufan tokko tokko Phaawulosin mana qulqullummaa keessatti argan. Isaanis nama hundumaa kakaasanii isa qaban.
And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude, and laid hands on him,
28 Iyyaniis, “Yaa namoota Israaʼel nu gargaaraa! Namichi kun nama saba keenyaan mormaa, seera keenyaa fi mana qulqullummaa mormaa nama hunda iddoo hundatti barsiisuu dha. Kana malees inni Giriikota mana qulqullummaatti ol galchee iddoo qulqulluu kana xureesseera” jedhan.
crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place.
29 Isaan waan duraan namicha Efesoon kan maqaan isaa Xiroofiimoos jedhamu tokko Phaawulos biratti magaalaa keessatti arganii turaniif, waan Phaawulos mana qulqullummaatti ol isa galche seʼaniitii.
For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
30 Magaalaan sunis guutummaatti ni raafamte; namoonnis karaa hundumaan fiigaa dhufan. Isaanis Phaawulosin qabanii lafa irra harkisaa mana qulqullummaatii gad baasan; yommusuma karroonni cufaman.
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut.
31 Utuu isaan isa ajjeesuu yaalanuu akka magaalaan Yerusaalem guutummaatti raafamaa jirtu oduun ajajaa waraana Roomaa gaʼe.
And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
32 Innis yeruma sana loltootaa fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa tokko tokko fudhatee fiigichaan isaanitti gad buʼe. Isaanis yommuu ajajaa sanaa fi loltoota isaa arganitti Phaawulosin tumuu dhiisan.
And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.
33 Ajajaan sunis dhufee isa qabe; akka inni foncaa lamaan hidhamus ajaje; akka inni eenyu taʼee fi akka inni maal hojjechaa tures isa gaafate.
Then the chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
34 Tuuta sana keessaas garri tokko waan tokko jedhanii iyyaa, garri kaan immoo waan biraa jedhanii iyyaa turan; ajajaan sunis sababii waca namaatiif waan mirkana taʼe argachuu waan dadhabeef akka Phaawulos gara qubata loltootaatti geeffamu ajaje.
And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.
35 Phaawulos gulantaa ittiin gad baʼan bira geenyaan sababii goolii namootaatiif loltoonni isa baatan.
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;
36 Namoonni hedduunis, “Isa ajjeesi!” jedhanii iyyaa duukaa buʼan.
for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.
37 Phaawulos yommuu loltoonni isa fuudhanii qubata loltootaatti ol isa galchuuf jedhanitti, ajajaa sanaan, “Akka ani waa sitti himu naa eeyyamtaa?” jedhee gaafate. Ajajaan sun immoo deebisee akkana jedhe; “Ati afaan Giriik ni dubbattaa?
And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
38 Ati namicha biyya Gibxi kan dhiʼeenya kana goolii kaasee shororkeessitoota 4,000 fudhatee gammoojjiitti gale sana mitii?”
Art thou not then the Egyptian, which before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?
39 Phaawulosis, “Ani Yihuudii Xarsees magaalaa beekamtuu Kiilqiyaa keessaa sanaa ti. Maaloo, akka ani namoota kanatti dubbadhu naa eeyyami” jedhee deebise.
But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people.
40 Phaawulos akkuma eeyyama ajajaa sanaa argateen gulantaa sana irra dhaabatee akka namoonni calʼisaniif harkaan mallattoo kenne; yommuu isaan hundinuu calʼisanitti immoo afaan Araamaayikiitiin akkana jedheen.
And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,
